Spring Break Phenology Post – phenologyassignment

I stayed in Burlington for spring break, and not having access to a car made it difficult to “travel to a rural place in Vermont.” I decided to go to a place significant to me for a while, especially over spring break.

This spot is located in the Burlington Country Club at the top of a sledding hill I went to with my dad over break. It is the tallest part of the Golf course and has a beautiful view of everything around.

I walked here with my father during the huge snowstorm, and it was a very nostalgic moment because we just threw snowballs at each other, went sledding, and built a snowman. It felt just like when I was a kid.

I could not hear any bird noises; however, I identified this very strong-looking tree to the left of my spot. INaturalist said that it was a Shagbark Hickory.

This is the view to the right of the spot, which is just the Redstone campus of UVM. However, it is misleading because there is not a path that connects them this way, and you must walk all the way around South prospect and then up to the top of the country club. It is about a 15-minute walk from Wright Hall.

Thanks for tuning in,

Eric
